As a professor told me once, everything (especially a place like disneyland) has already been photographed to the umteenth time... So the pressure is off as far as trying to be original or unique... But there are things of personal value that are worth photographings... kids reactions, excitement, anticipation... Some kids go to disneyland every other month, some go once or twice a lifetime... To those kids, the excitement is real.. Those are the real stories worth documenting...

Been there done that. My solution was abstraction. A short tele such as the 135L or 85L and shoot interesting chunks...parts of architecture, crowds, geometric abstraction, birds eye view, worms eye view. Anything else is a snapshot. Have fun with bulb settings on dark rides and ICM.

Looking back at my photos from Disneyland in the 1950's, by far the most important were photos of me and my family. The ones of the rides and attractions have little value. So, get good photos of yourself and friends / family, those will be the treasures of the future.
